Thought R1 Brenner, R2 Tukhugov and R3 was a toss up. Bisping should still shut up about it though, not very professional.

honest question but how are you supposed to take these fights seriously when the ruleset is "the winner is the guy who loses the fist fight"

Money > fairness
I’ve been watching UFC since 2006 and I swear robberies didn’t happen nowhere near as often as they do now since the ufc has become so big with betting, of course a huge favorite gets robbed. That’s a huge cash out for vegas, stay away from fights likely to go the distance by all means

Pretty clear win for Zubaira, the odds were nearly -800 Zubaira with 2 minutes left. That was heinous.
